Congratulations to the Boston University Mens Hockey Team for winning the 2007 Beanpot Tournament! As the BU Terriers once again beat their cross-town rivals, the Boston College Eagles, in an overtime win, they continued their dominance in this local tournament of the original four schools that play their games in Boston, including Northeastern University and Harvard.

Of the 55 years of the tournament, BU has won it 28 times. For those of you who do not follow college hockey or are fans of the Midwest teams, you are probably wondering what the big deal is, especially with a tourney featuring the same teams. If for any other reason, it is bragging rights, and the continuation of a tradition in an age where traditions tend to fade away. After missing the last two years, it was great to see my Terriers take the trophy home.

GO BU!
